Over the course of several months, I've acquired a group of amazing Manchurian Shaving Brushes from Simpson.

I'm always amazed with the excellence that Mark and his team puts out in their brushes. I'm nowhere near the brush photographer that my friend Mr. Manchurian (Ben74) is, but the brushes I've acquired tell a wonderful story of legendary performance, style, and excellence found in Simpson Manchurians.

Great collection and shots. Really puts a nice spin on the amber and for the first time, I am now interested in the Polo. You must be very pleased with your selection.
+1 on the post bloom pics. Enjoy.

Duke 3 - 10 (this brush has one of the best flow I've used. The flow, paired with a good density make this one solid brush)
Classic 1 Manchurian - 10 (I love the flow on this brush, I just wish it were a little bigger. But it makes an epic travel brush)
Polo 10- 8 (I only say an 8 rating because it's no duke. it flows really nice)
Jubilee - 8
Chubby 2 - 7

All have significant a excellent backbone. My Polo 10 has some scritch, but I haven't quite broken it in yet. The Chubby has some scritch as well. The Duke, Classic, and Jubilee are all really nice with minimal scritch.

Although the Polo and Chubby have scritch, it's a scritch that I love! It's very luxurious and very enjoyable.
